Full Carbon Fiber Body Hakosuka

I saw these pictures over at the GTR.co.UK forum.  Very cool.  Doesn’t everyone love carbon fiber ?  I know I do.    I have to dig around for some details on the car.  I wonder how much lighter it is than a standard car. Some carbon fiber work, is not actually any lighter, depending on what backs it, and how its done.  Lets just hope its good lightweight stuff, and it turned this car into a real rocket.

2012 Tata Nano America

A deluxe version of India’s new "people’s car” may come to America with a chump-change $7,000 price. Add in urban-jungle agility, high mpg, and surprising space, and this cute puppy could spell trouble for other U.S.-market minicars.

What We Know About the 2012 Tata Nano America

It’s being called a 21st-century Model T, a masterpiece of cost-effective engineeering, a new “people’s car” that will change the global auto industry and millions of lives. It’s the Tata Nano, revealed in early 2007 and finally available in its native India at a starting price of just $2,500.

Ratan Tata, CEO of the Tata Group combine, was determined to build a genuine four-passenger car that would be priced only a bit higher--and be much safer--than the small motorcycles most Indian families use to tote three and four people at a time. The result is a tall, egg-shaped 4-door with about the same footprint as the original 1960s British Mini, minimal equipment, and a rear-mounted 2-cylinder engine making 35 horsepower from 624 cubic centimeters. Top speed is barely 65 mph, the comfortable cruising pace only 55 mph.

The India-market Nano may be too Spartan for First World countries, but it’s just right for the millions of Third World consumers who crave a car but could never afford one before. As Ravi Kant, the head of the Tata Motors division, recently told The Economist magazine: “Through the explosive growth of cellphones and television, the aspirations of rural people are converging with [those of] urban people...The interest in the Nano is worldwide.”

So perhaps it was no surprise that Tata presented a deluxe version at the March 2009 Geneva Auto Show even before home-market deliveries were underway. Though this Nano Europa was billed merely as “for future launch” in developed countries, Mr. Tata later said that the Europa would likely start sale on the Continent in 2010 or 2011. Since then, one source has reported that Italy, Spain, Poland and the UK will be the initial markets. More important for U.S. consumers, Mr. Tata says his team is looking into a U.S. edition, what we call the 2012 Tata Nano “America.” It would take on the Smart ForTwo, the Korean-built 2011 Chevrolet Spark, a likely Toyota or Scion iQ and a possible 2011 Ford Ka in what’s shaping up as a whole new market class.

In case you’re wondering, Tata Motors is the company that paid $2.6 billion in 2007 to acquire British luxury-vehicle maker Jaguar Land Rover from Ford. Though JLR is something of a financial drain on Tata in the worsening worldwide recession, it does provide a wealth of global marketing know-how that should pay dividends in bringing “the world’s cheapest car” to rich-world buyers.

At a minimum, the 2012 Tata Nano America will share all the Europa’s upgrades over India-market models. The main one is a larger 3-cylinder engine, another all-aluminum unit with multipoint fuel injection, very low claimed CO2 emissions, and likely overall fuel economy above 50 miles per gallon. Tata is so far mum on displacement or outputs, but a look at comparable Japanese and Korean minicars suggests a 1.0-liter powerplant with around 65 horsepower and that many pound-feet of torque. Tata does confirm a 5-speed automatic transmission will replace the basic Nano’s 4-speed manual. Though the company won’t say more about that point either, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a low-cost automated-manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) instead of a conventional torque-converter automatic, which would cost too much and sap too much power. All Nanos carry the powertrain on a separate rear sub-frame, an unexpected plus for refinement. That includes the radiator, which receives cooling air from a vertical bodyside scoop ahead of each rear wheel.

Like the Europa, the 2012 Tata Nano America is some 7.5 inches longer than the basic model, reflecting a 2-inch-longer wheelbase and larger, restyled bumpers that are presumably strengthened for Western crash tests. The Geneva display cars indicate the America/Europa will also get higher-quality interior trim--including ersatz chrome accents and available leather upholstery--plus a rear wiper and washer, sound-deadening material, and at least four airbags, all absent from basic Nanos. Antilock brakes and a stability system with traction control are promised too, and could be standard on top-trim models. The same applies to air conditioning, front power windows, power door locks, and foglights. Finally, the premium Nano exchanges flat-face headlamp units for a more-stylish “three-hole” design.

Of course, all these changes won’t come for free. Indeed, several sources predict the 2012 Tato Nano America (Europa, too) will cost over twice as much as its no-frills parent. Still, the rumored base figure is only some $7,000, which should be more than class-competitive in the States and thus very attractive to budget-minded shoppers.

Spyker C8 Aileron

Spyker Cars' C8 line has been around for a couple years now. The C8 Aileron prototype concept car was shown to great critical reception at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2008, but Geneva 2009 brings the full, glorious introduction of the next generation C8 model, the 2009 Spyker C8 Aileron.

The second-generation C8, of which the Aileron is the first edition, keeps the classic Spyker design details intact. It is a car with functional and ornamental scoops, inlets and outlets in all the right places, but unlike the C8 Laviolette and Spyder before it, the 2009 C8 Aileron doesn't look overburdened with too many flashy design details.

The general design theme set forth by the Aileron has shifted to echoing the turbine engines found on classic airplanes. The turbine theme extends to the air intakes, lighting, exterior venting and details, and most of all in the knockout-gorgeous 19 inch multispoke the wheels.

The C8 Aileron "Aeroblade" 19s, which are some of the most beautiful wheels ever featured on a production car, show a 10-spoke design that does justice to the claim that they are styled like the blades of jet engines. Finished in chrome and wrapped in 235/35-19 tires up front with meaty 290/30-19 rubber in the rear, C8 Aileron cars equipped with the Aeroblade will instantly stand out from anything on the road, or even on the green at Pebble Beach.

Power is not abundant for a car of this prestige and price bracket; the only engine choice is an Audi-sourced 4.2 liter V8 spitting out 400 horsepower. Two transmissions are available: a Getrag 6-speed manual or ZF 6-speed automatic. Either choice should put the power to the street just fine, but enthusiasts will go for the Getrag as a matter of course.

With an all-aluminum chassis and a lift-off two piece body wrapping the supple interior and mid-mounted V8, the C8 Aileron should make the most of the power present with what should be an extremely light curb weight. The car is for those who think about design first, and from the scissor doors to body curves that look perfectly excecuted from any angle, it should not disappoint its intended clientele.

Motor Trend Long Term test : 2010 Nissan GT-R

Motor Trend Magazine just welcomed a 2010 Nissan GT-R into their long term test fleet.   The $84,040 GT-R drags an extra $2950 from your bank account vs the 2009 model. The minor updates for 2010 are five more horsepower, a new Transmission control computer for the GR6 transmission, new spring rates and revalved Bilstein dampers, darker wheel color, and standard side and curtain airbags.

3.5 seconds to hit 60 and 11.9 seconds at 120.1 mph to eclipse the quarter mile. The GT-R's handling and braking did not disappoint, either, registering 0.98 of maximum lateral grip, 24.4 seconds at 0.81 g through the figure eight, and a scant 103 feet halt from 60 to 0. Perhaps most impressive, the GT-R puts up these astonishing numbers while delivering 16/21 mpg city/highway fuel economy, thus avoiding the gas-guzzler tax (a claim an M3 can't even make).

Update to ICE , DOT, EPA Investigation on Kaizo

I spoke to a person today that informed me that they had a call from ICE on their vehicle.  The ICE agent asked to come out and take photos of the vehicle.  The person that received the call asked if the car was going to be seized, and the ICE agent said that it was not going to be seized.  I advised him that he should speak to a lawyer before he allows anyone to come and investigate any of his property.

What I think that ICE wants to see is the body and the engine together.  They are still investigating Kaizo, and looking to see if they supplied engines and bodies together.  If anyone else gets any calls – please email me to tell me what was said.   tyndago@gmail.com .  I want to stay on top of this, and see where its going. 

All "public interest" legislation (and any distribution of money taken by force from some men for the unearned benefit of others) comes down ultimately to the grant of an undefined undefinable, non-objective, arbitrary power to some government officials. The worst aspect of it is not that such a power can be used dishonestly, but that it cannot be used honestly. The wisest man in the world, with the purest integrity, cannot find a criterion for the just, equitable, rational application of an unjust, inequitable, irrational principle.

-Ayn Rand

The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
